• Set crockpot for 8 hours if you have a timer on low and let cook.
• Serve with refried beans and rice!
• If cooking on the stove, add a 28 oz can of water (the can the tomatoes were in) to start with, you may need more or not as the cooking time goes on. You may have a faster cook time with this method.
